Zarlenga Bluffs Off to Pates
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Jason Zarlenga bet 750 from the small blind into two players on a 
flop. The first one folded, but Ken Pates wanted to play for more and raised to 1,700 from middle position. Zarlenga called, and he check-called 2,500 more on the 
turn. The 
made a three-flush on board, and Zarlenga checked once more. Pates bet 2,750, and Zarlenga raised to 8,200.
"Call," Pates quickly announced, and Zarlenga flipped 
into the middle. Pates showed 
for a flopped straight, and the defending champ is off and running.
